428th Fighter Bomber Squadron

Comments: My father-in-law, Raymond Ramsey, was with the 428th from 53-54. He was a pilot, a Colonel, and, we believe, the squadron commander. He died June 2002 and we found several items in his possesions with the buccaneer logo. Does anyone know the history of the logo; who designed it and when? Thank you.

Looking for Members of the 474th from Kunsan

Comments: I was with the 474th FBG in Kunsan from July 10, 1952 to April 1, 1953 and would like to hear from others who were there during this time. I can be reached at the email address listed above.

The 474th Fighter Bomber Wing was established on 25 June, 1952 as a part of the Tactical Air Command.

The 474th Fighter Bomber Group as activated on 10 July, 1952, with the 428th, 429th, and 430th Fighter Bomber Squadrons being assigned to the Far East Air Force and the 5th Air Force.

On this same date, 10 July, 1952, the 474th Fighter Bomber Group and it's 3 Squadrons were airlifted from Misawa, Japan to Kunsan, Korea (K-8), in what has been said to be one of the largest air movements of it's kind to date.

Air operations for the 474th would begin 1 August, 1952. The 474th Fighter Bomber Group and it's 3 Squadrons would remain at Kunsan (K-8) until 1 April, 1953, at which time it would be transferred to Taegu (K-2). This movement was a paper move only, with the personnel and equipment remaining at Kunsan (K-8).

On this same date, 1 April 1953, the 49th Fighter Bomber Group and it's 3 Squadrons, the 7th, 8th, and 9th at Taegu (K-2) would transfer to Kunsan (K-8) on paper without personnel and equipment.

The 428th became the 7th, the 429th became the 8th, and the 430th became the 9th Fighter Bomber Squadrons.
